Before manufacturers were forced to add tracking, etc to phones, Cerberus app was the best game in town, still is.

I accidentally left it on a phone I sold, it ended up in Europe, it was cool to track. I still use the app, it's awesome and has been worth 10 times what I paid for it years ago.

I used to use cerberus. Was good until they said I violated their terms. I was tracking my the minor son to make sure he was not in any bad hoods.

I used to use Cerberus, until I realized I wasn't very comfortable giving that kind of control over my device to a 3rd party company like that (imagine if they had been hacked). I'm much more comfortable with something like Android Device Manager or Find My iPhone because they are controlled by Google and Apple.

Oh snap, I didn't think Cerberus could be hacked. But you are absolutely right

Some of you might like the MAXS xmpp suite for controlling your phone...

Not exactly user friendly, but lightweight, and not difficult for a techie.

edit:
This is the module I was specifically thinking about with this thread...
